Works closely with the clinical care team to conduct assessments, reassessments, develop care plans, and deliver comprehensive primary care. This role travels to any and all of the BoldAge locations to cover for primary care providers as needed. Credentialling will be provided in all states that BoldAge operates in.

Assume shared responsibility for all participants in the center, regardless of individual assignment, supporting the IDT model of team-based care.
Participate in and contribute to daily IDT meetings, offering clinical insights and collaborating on participant-centered care plans.
Ensure accurate, timely completion of all participant assessments and documentation in compliance with policy, regulatory, and quality standards.
Review and respond to labs, imaging, and consults in a timely manner, incorporating findings into ongoing care plans and communicating changes with the IDT.
Educate participants and caregivers on self-care strategies, medication use, and wellness practices, empowering them to participate their own care.
Use the Emergency Department judiciously, prioritizing PACE resources unless symptoms are potentially life-threatening.
Accurately document diagnoses with attention to proper coding practices, supporting risk adjustment and quality reporting metrics.
Provide coverage for the 24/7 on-call rotation, addressing participant needs promptly and ensuring proper hand-offs and communication.
Contribute to discharge planning, supporting smooth transitions across care settings.
Assist with staff training and mentoring, contributing to clinical policy development and best practice implementation.
Participate in ongoing performance and quality improvement initiatives.
Demonstrate flexibility by stepping into other roles, as allowed by licensure and experience, when needed to support the team.
